Parts and supplies cost me just below $500 which based on the estimate I received from a local independent ($1200) saved me about $700.



I ended up removing the fan but didn't need too as I pulled everything out through the wheel well and got to everything from underneath.



This job would be so much easier and at least 2 hours less if I had a lift as much of my time was spent getting down on the floor and then back up.



All in all pretty easy - everything came off and went back on without too much trouble.



I followed the referenced You Tube video which was extemely useful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Re6oO43ldUs.


Nice job!




Did you drain the coolant beforehand?

Did you bleed the system?
You can do that manually. Takes 12 minutes of your battery when ignition is ON.



Also what are the special tools that are a “must” for the job?
